Welcome to ASSIST Georgia
ASSIST became active in the Republic of Georgia to help young Georgian students currently in the 9th or 10th grade who would like to spend one year as exchange students in the United States as 10th or 11th graders. There are also very limited places for 12th graders and post-graduates.
It is through the leadership of our Georgian partner, Unique Learning, that this scholarship competition is made possible.
Virtual Information Sessions
Please email Maia Gurgenidze at our Georgian partner organization Unique Learning at Maia.gurgenidze@englishbookeducation.com to learn about upcoming dates and to get your Zoom link for the meeting.
Application Process for 2026/27 Scholarships
Together with our Georgian partner, Unique Learning, scholars interested in study in the US are invited to apply. The application process for scholarships for the 2026/27 school year is now open. Once your application has been submitted, you will have access to a checklist listing additional required materials, like teacher recommendations and grade transcripts. We encourage you to check your applicant portal often to see the status of your materials. If successful, you may also be invited to take an English test and to interview in-person in Tbilisi in January.
Scholarships are also offered to boarding schools in the UK through our colleagues of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference (HMC).
For further information or to start your application, please contact our Unique Learning colleague Maia Gurgenidze, at Maia.gurgenidze@englishbookeducation.com or visit the Unique Learning website.
